Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
The Capricorn Sun passes along the South Node of the Moon. Our experiences today may have deep subtext as well as roots in the past. Be open to sudden insights, especially as the Sun squares with Uranus, a planet that likes to shake up the status quo.
The Moon is in Taurus today, pointing us towards the sensuality of life, from the taste of food to the pleasure and comfort that comes from earthly living. With Venus in Sagittarius, though, it’s important to explore, try new things, and not get stuck in a rut.
Happy Aquarius Full Moon! Happy lunar eclipse! This is the time of the year when the spotlight is on community, social connection, and our friendships. Aquarius is also the sign of the humanitarian.
The Capricorn Moon puts us to work today. With Saturn also in the mix, it’s a day for a reality check. Are we honoring our commitments, our responsibilities? Are we honoring our word? Saturn wants us to push harder to reach higher.
Venus in Virgo faces off with Neptune. Is it real or a beautiful illusion? Neptune can enchant us and Venus is certainly alluring, but we’re feeling a pull between what needs to get done versus a dream or a vision. Or, alternatively, we’re feeling a higher calling.
Welcome to Leo Season! Leo is the sign of the Sun and when the Sun is in Leo, the Sun has returned home. Leo teaches us about the courage and heart to be ourselves. To shine our talents, to share our creativity as well as our passion.
Happy Capricorn New Moon! This is the time in the lunar calendar when we turn to achievement, responsibility, and planning for the future. Now that Saturn has come home to Capricorn, this new moon will bring this planetary shift into focus.
Happy Leo New Moon! This is the time in the zodiac calendar when we connect with the energy of joy, passion, creation, and the pleasure of being ourselves. It’s all about how we express our individuality and allow ourselves to radiate.
I talk about consciousness in my posts because it’s not enough to know what’s going on in the sky, we have to know how to bring the fullness of ourselves to any planet or sign. We’re in an era that demands healing and transformation. The astrology is telling us as much.
Today’s Gemini Moon is a happy reminder that Mercury is direct! Not that I’m one to set the alarm about Mercury Retrograde, but it’s nice to know that things may flow a bit more smoothly now that the planet of communication and travel has moved forward.
On July 4 we started a caustic lunar month that promised to show us our fears, the parts of ourselves that we’d rather not look at. Falling opposite Pluto, the new moon said that over the coming four weeks we’d be doing a lot of soul searching.
Venus arrived in Leo today all flirty and playful and boy can we use it. The energy is still heavy, make no mistake, but at least we can enjoy Venus’s charms. Venus in Leo has a bit of a diva reputation, someone who enjoys the regal treatment.
